the comic itself looks cringey as hell and JDP comes off as flattered/excited to me there, bad idea all around
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 02:14 (two years ago) link
yeah, I don't see where Peterson is mad?
― Joe Bombin (milo z), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 02:21 (two years ago) link
Peterson almost died on a years long exercise to prove to the world he is a notable intellectual and not a proto-fascist self help guru, I will forever feel a sense of insecurity in him in that regard. For all the bad stuff we can say about that idiot, he does dislike the concept of white pride. I don't think he will be flattered to be the inspiration for a new rendition for one of the most famous fictional nazis we have today.

Being parodied as a supervillain by a leading liberal would be a badge of honor for someone like him, as Keith Olbermann would still be talking about it if Trump had given him a mean nickname on Twitter in 2017.

also, his recent book announcement died a sad quiet death so any attention is good for him right now
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 02:27 (two years ago) link
Would need to read the whole comic, but those panels seem a little “on the nose.” The idea is that red skull is using petersonesque self help to lure alienated white men into his evil schemes?

I mean it’s kind of funny, I guess.

Captain America, as a whole, is on the nose!
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 7 April 2021 02:35 (two years ago) link
It does seem to be from the "tell don't show" school of narrative fiction, weird choice for a visual medium IMO.

The Coates run on Black Panther was close to unreadable imo. A rare occasion where an outsider coming in actually resulted in a more convoluted and harder to follow comic than if it had been one of the regular continuity hacks. Being a good essayist doesn't mean you're good at fiction, and scripting comics is yet another toolset altogether - but tbf the comics industry has rolled out the red carpet for writers far far worse at it than Coates.
― Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 7 April 2021 09:57 (two years ago) link
In promo interviews he said he’d never read any comics other than Marvel comics, which didn’t bode well for someone adapting to a new medium.

if the red skull doesn't know what websites look like that's on him and his site design team imo

"Jordan Peterson is happy a prominent Black man called him a Nazi" is a hell of a take

Look, at least the thread managed to establish that TNC is more worthy of criticism than the guy leveraging bigotry into money and acclaim.

Didn't his novel already prove this? As I recall, the reviews were pretty savage.

I mean in addition to his entire timeline over the past two days, there's this retweet:
Jordan Peterson shocked after learning comic links his ideas with villain https://t.co/WhOz9IFleW via OpIndia_com— Dr Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) April 6, 2021
worth noting that the source there is a Hindutva propaganda organ

I for one am shocked that jordan peterson RTd an article about jordan peterson
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 17:32 (two years ago) link
honestly I'd be more convinced that he was actually mad if he just said "no comment"

he's a dramatic guy and he likes it when people misrepresent him because it gives him something to complain about. the opportunity to beef with tnc is something he'd definitely relish. simon otm.
― treeship., Wednesday, 7 April 2021 18:01 (two years ago) link
I did see him recently responding on Twitter to a critical (though not fully negative) review with “Why do you hate me?” I don’t think he handles criticism too well.

remember "dark enlightenment"? these assholes love to be seen as renegades and villains by the culture they claim is an immoral and corrupting influence

I think I misunderstood what Simon meant by "flattered"?
I mean yeah of course he's seizing the opportunity to frame the hysterical left as thinking that being told to clean their rooms and not lie is equivalent to perpetuating the holocaust

but he's communicating that response via a tone of pompous indignation

Truly an honour to be alive to see public intellectuals discuss the most urgent philosophical questions of our time.
"...Lois Lane had no interest in Clark Kent, but she fell in love with Superman... she wanted Superman to be able to cry and express emotions. But the man who did cry, express emotions and feelings and was sensitive, Clark Kent, she has zero interest in." - @drwarrenfarrell pic.twitter.com/C38RSGF90w— Dr Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) August 20, 2021

not clicking on that, peterson is an embarrassment for the entire species, but Clark Kent was never sensitive or open about his emotions. He's a weird, nice provincial guy who's definitely holding something back. Duplicity can be a "turn off", but I doubt incel ideology can deal with that (comic book) insight.

good point, but also why would we consult a generic idea of ~Superman~ for insights into gender roles, what a numbskull
